Li Xuanqing led people to withdraw from Taiyuan Mansion overnight and returned to the outside of the city to join the guard camp. Li Feixue said with a smile: "Lord, my big drama hasn't started yet, why do you suddenly want to withdraw?" ”

"Withdraw? How to withdraw? finally transferred Li Cunjin's men and horses back, and it was not a good thing to withdraw at this time. Hu Xiaosi crossed Erlang's legs and swayed in the handsome tent and said, "Feixue, how many people do you have now?" ”

"Thirty-five thousand, what's wrong?" Li Feixue didn't know what this guy meant for a while, and replied with a nak.

When Li Xuanqing heard this, he nodded and smiled: "Thirty-five thousand people are enough to save a little." With such snowfall, you left 15,000 people in Taiyuan Mansion to continue to pretend to attack the city, and you can't be seen by others. Xiao Si, immediately mobilize the Xuanying Guard secret guards near Taiyuan Mansion to give me all the strength to intercept all the connections between Taiyuan Mansion and the outside of the city. The remaining 20,000 people secretly gathered with me to meet Li Cunjin. ”

"Lord, Li Cunjin will definitely have no fewer people to come back at this time, isn't it a bit hanging that you have 20,000 people? If we don't block each other, won't we all lose our efforts? Li Feixue instantly understood what Li Xuanqing meant, but this general, who had always been bold, was a little worried about Li Xuanqing's situation, "Before leaving, the chief of staff repeatedly explained that he would not let the lord take risks. ”

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with Li Cunjin, if you have time, think about how your little manpower is not seen by the other party. Although the guards of Taiyuan Mansion are not capable people, they are not fools, and if this kind of trick is seen, nothing will be played. Li Xuanqing glared at the other party, and said to Hu Xiaosi, who also stood up next to him: "Are you going with me or staying here?" ”

"I'd better follow the lord, so that Feixue can feel at ease. By the way, you can also see what this Li Cunjin is capable of. Anyway, as long as the disguise is good here, it's fine, I left Biaozi behind, this guy is good at this, and it can come in handy when the time comes. Hu Xiaosi patted Li Feixue's shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, the main bus will promise me that it will be fine." ”

"Okay, let's gather the guard battalion, it's getting late now, just enough to get out of the city. Xiaohu, let the Flying Eagle Brigade explore the way ahead, let's go and catch him off guard tonight. Li Xuanqing tidied up his uniform and reached out to grab the Chengying Sword Dao that was placed on the desk.

When a few people came out of the tent, the 20,000 horses of the personal guard battalion were already ready to go, and Su Xiaohu took his Flying Eagle Brigade to act as Li Xuanqing's guard and stood at the front. Seeing Li Xuanqing come out, he hurriedly dressed up and saluted, but was stopped by the latter, "Xiaohu, immediately lead the Flying Eagle Brigade to follow the Xuanying Guard's action, find out Li Cunjin's movements at the moment, and report back quickly." ”

Seeing Su Xiaohu lead people out of the camp, Li Xuanqing also turned over and took these people and disappeared into the night. Li Feixue stood in place for a while and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly summoned the remaining generals to discuss in the Shuai Tent, planning to use tonight to make some trouble.

"Little Fourth, where did Li Cunjin return to the army?" In the darkness, this army only had a few torches to illuminate the road ahead, Li Xuanqing let the jade lion find his way to follow the army in front of him, and asked.

"In the direction of Zhenzhou, it should be over Taihang Mountain now. The march route of their Shatuo people should be planned to come from Taihang Jingcheng, because it was a hinterland march, and they didn't expect that we would face him head-on, so they were almost defenseless, and the people of Xuanyingwei followed him almost the whole way. Hu Xiaosi replied directly without thinking about it: "Lord, after we enter Taihang Mountain, the role of cavalry is actually not big, how can we sneak attack?" Do you want to stay where you are? ”

While thinking about the terrain of the Jingcheng area, Li Xuanqing replied: "Our cavalry is not very useful, isn't the other party the same?" The Thanh Infantry Shatuo is no match for us. The guards battalion was cavalry on horseback and infantry on horseback. And I plan to experiment with a new tactic, you ask the people of Xuan Yingwei to mark out all the dangerous terrain ahead for me, and give Li Cun a mille-feuille paper and *** tactic. ”

"What's that?" In the dark, Hu Xiaosi almost bit out his tongue when he heard Li Xuanqing's words, although there is no Northeast two people in this era, but *** just think about it to know what it means, but he was about to ask, but he saw a group of people in front of him coming quickly.

At this time, Li Xuanqing's men and horses had not yet entered the Taihang Mountains, but on the way from Taiyuan Mansion to Taihang Mountains, which was still the boundary of the Fenhe Plain, so the cavalry galloped very fast. I saw this Biao man come to Li Xuanqing's side and said: "Lord Qiqi, commander, Li Cunjin's men and horses have already passed through Jingcheng County, and there are still about four days away from here. ”

"How many people have come back?" Hu Xiaosi was most concerned about the number of people on the other side, and hurriedly asked.

The secret guard bowed down and replied: "There are quite a few people on the other side, and there are already about 50,000 people who have arrived in Jingcheng County, and there will be followers to follow." ”

"God, what did those guys in Taiyuan Mansion say to Li Cunjin? Blame me, I should have robbed the other party's messenger and dropped a bag for the letter. Hu Xiaosi patted his head and said in annoyance: "Lord, what now?" There are 20,000 of us, and we can't beat each other. ”

Li Xuanqing groaned slightly: "You immediately go to the front army to find the commander of the Flying Eagle Brigade, and then take them to find Li Cunjin, so that the Flying Eagle Brigade can find a way to delay the pace of the other party." Xiao Si asked the deputy capital of the guard battalion to lead the army, and then we led the forward of 3,000 people to speed up and rush to Jingcheng. After explaining this, Li Xuanqing mobilized Hu Xiaosi in the same place, and he took Baixin and more than 200 guards to catch up with the Flying Eagle Brigade and hurried to Jingcheng.

Since ancient times, Taihang Mountain has been a natural barrier for Shanxi to go east out of the plain, and in the late Qin period, Han Xin passed through Jingcheng and other places to go east to Taihang to open up the second road to fight Xiang Yu, laying a solid foundation for Liu Bang's Han Dynasty. And at this moment, the path Li Xuanqing chose was exactly the road that Han Xindong went to Taihang at the beginning.

With Xuanyingwei leading the way, Li Xuanqing and the Flying Eagle Brigade suddenly became faster, finding paths between the mountains and mountains, and after confirming that there was no enemy in front, they also lit countless torches with confidence, and the speed of the road naturally increased. Therefore, by the time dawn, the Flying Eagle Brigade had already separated from the large army for hundreds of miles, and according to Xuan Yingwei's estimate, it would be able to reach Jingcheng at night at the latest, and if Li Cunjin was also moving in the opposite direction, it was estimated that they would be able to meet in front at noon. After studying the map, Li Xuanqing decided to intercept the other party when he arrived at the west exit of Jingcheng.

In fact, the Jingcheng area of Taihang Mountain is a stream from east to west, it is a famous military town in the Taihang Mountain area, adjacent to Luquan, Yuanshi and Zanhuang counties in the east and southeast, and bordering Yuxian, Pingding and Xiyang counties in Shanxi Province in the west and southwest. And Li Xuanqing planned to stop Li Cunjin in the Mengxian area in the west, which had just come out of Jingcheng. According to Xuan Yingwei's description, the mountains in the Mengxian area are steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountains are undulating and undulating, and there are many areas that are easy to ambush, so that the mille-feuille paper and *** tactics designed by themselves can be effective.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanqing sent people to ask the follow-up Hu Xiaosi to speed up, and he and Su Xiaohu rushed to Meng County to find a place to ambush.

However, when Li Xuanqing arrived in Mengxian County, he suddenly found that he came to the hometown of Niangziguan in later generations, but at this time Niangziguan did not exist, but its steep terrain already existed in the world. After arriving here, news of Xuan Yingwei also came one after another, and Li Cunjin's men and horses had also walked out of the well and were about to arrive here.

Due to the urgency of time, and the fact that Li Xuanqing now has less than a thousand people in his hands, he didn't think much about cleaning up the place directly, entering the camouflage, and using the surrounding terrain to prepare for a first attack.

The topography of this place is very strange, the mountain road passes between the two mountains, and the mountain is not high, but compared to the other peaks, the overall altitude is actually increased, so it seems not high.

The Flying Eagle Brigade has done too much for sneak attacks, so the Flying Eagle Brigade commanded by Su Xiaohu is extremely skillful, not only camouflaging itself in a short period of time, but also commanding his subordinates to move a lot of big rocks and placing them near their camouflage positions at random, preparing to use big stones to block the road down the mountain.

Li Xuanqing asked Baixin and the others to follow the Flying Eagle Brigade to increase a little combat experience, in front of this group of soldiers, ordinary soldiers of the Tiance Army are only students, not to mention Baixin, these baby soldiers who have never been on the battlefield? And Su Xiaohu obviously understood what Li Xuanqing meant, and began to teach these experiences summed up from the battlefield while arranging.

And as Li Cunjin's men and horses are getting closer and closer, Xuan Yingwei's report is getting faster and faster, and the latest intelligence shows that Li Cunjin's men and horses have arrived at the edge of the pass, and it is estimated that it will be a tea hour. At this time, Su Xiaohu's arrangements have been completed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the other party.

"Xiaohu, don't be greedy later, block the road immediately after letting go of a few thousand people, Xiaosi's people have already rushed to this side, it is estimated that it will arrive in about half an hour, as long as you block it for half an hour, you will complete the task, our task is not to eat each other in one bite, but to consume the opponent little by little." While there was still some time, Li Xuanqing began to instill the idea of guerrilla warfare in later generations to Su Xiaohu.

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand, this thing used to be done often in the grassland." Su Xiaohu gestured.

And just when Li Xuanqing's side was about to fight Li Cunjin by surprise, the two sides of the battlefield in Hezhong Mansion had also entered the final time, and the men and horses of both sides began to assemble one after another, and a big battle began.

"Tiancheng, how has this Jin army recovered? Didn't the intelligence say before that Li Ke smashed his handsome account with anger? Tie Liang saw that the other party's Chinese army had been arranged, and he was a little inexplicable, so he rode his horse to Yang Tiancheng and asked.

Yang Tiancheng glanced at the other party, and said angrily: "You don't care why he recovered, when is this still concerned." Hurry back to your post, the heavy cavalry battalion is the main force of the Chinese army this time, don't be careless, how is the formation arranged? ”

"Don't worry, the 50,000-strong cavalry battalion is guaranteed to be able to charge the other side. I think the heavy cavalry battalion should be placed in the first sequence, how did you put two infantry battalions in front? How could Tianyi's 20,000 horses be able to block the other party's group charge? Tie Liang was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Tiancheng putting himself in the second sequence, and muttered.

"Tianxiang asked Tianyi and them to test a new weapon, so they need the cooperation of the infantry battalion, do you think I want the infantry to come forward to fight the opponent's cavalry?" Yang Tiancheng hurriedly pushed the other party away and began to look at the other party's military formation.

Li Ke's Chinese army handsome flag has been raised, and the Wang flag flying high looks very mighty, but it has no effect in front of the Tiance Army, a group of troops that basically do not fight their own handsome flags, the latter imitates the practice of the army in later generations, and the main flags in the army are all the same Tiance Legion Longming Yellow Flag, and the secondary flags are only their respective battalion flags, and they can't see anything else.

Li Keyong put out the formation of the Yuli Array at this time, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with his own troops, which was estimated to be the largest gathering of troops after the Shatuo people entered the state, and almost brought out all their old foundations, so the Chinese army and the front army combined exceeded 100,000, and 40,000 cavalry guards were arranged on both sides to guard the flanks.

"Si Yuan, you and Si Xun lead the front army to charge, and the trial leads the troops behind, and the others are handed over to Dewei to command, and I will take down the opponent's Chinese army." Li Ke looked at the formation of the Tiance army with one eye and began to give the order to attack for a while, for him, there is basically no rhythm of defending the opponent's attack, and the Shatuo cavalry has always held the initiative on the battlefield, so he naturally began to give the order to attack.

I have to say that the formation of more than 100,000 cavalry charging is really too huge, even if the front army of Li Siyuan and others only dispatched 50,000 people, but it is still shaking at the slightest thought, and the air is trembling with this solemn breath.

"Li Ke is self-righteous with Taiwan, this tactic is really when we are vegetarians?" Yang Tiancheng of the front army smiled when he saw the scale of the number of chargers, and with a wave of his right hand, the war drum team began to give orders, and the infantry brigade at the front of the army formation began to move, a row of torches began to ignite, and preparations began with the sound of the follow-up loud orders.

"Give you bastards a taste of ground rats." As soon as Li Tianyi saw the opposing cavalry instantly cross the middle line of the two armies, he smiled coldly and began to order the ignition.

I saw that in an instant, almost at the same time as the ballista in the rear was ordered to be fired, countless tongues of fire suddenly appeared on the front position of the Tiance Army, swallowing sparks and speeding towards the Jin Army's stormtroopers.

This moment was destined to be frozen in the historical records of later generations, and a new type of weapon began to appear on the stage of history, and it lasted for thousands of years with the war.

However, at this time, Li Tianyi, the operator of the knife, did not think how powerful this weapon was, and even Li Xuanqing, the initiator, did not care too much about how the weapon he "invented" performed on the battlefield in the river. At this time, he also immediately entered a big war, a different style of fighting from previous wars, one of the most popular tactics in the early days of the later Republic was inadvertently summed up at this time, and began to play a role on the battlefield, and gave the battlefield of Bingzhou and even the role of the Tiance Army's No. 1 plan to draw salaries, directly making the opponent's rear become the front.
